GP Series by VapourArt - Official Thread for GP Spheroid, GP PAPS, X, GP Piccolo, GP SnP and more - Part 1

[the ob]

I have said this several times before, but it needs to be said again.

No one, and I mean no one provides the speedy, and complete service that Perseas does.

I currently own about 75 different devices (many have been sold too ) I have tried them all. I admire and am even friends with several devices makers and suppliers.

Perseas commitment to his products and making things right when issues arise is UNPARALLELED. His devices are amazing pieces of machinery (if you can call them machines) and I have had a couple of minor issues. I have contacted Perseas and his response is always very timely and immediate action is taken.

I want to publicly thank him and let all of you know how wonderful he is. His customer service is truly amazing!

I will try to take a look at mine and see if I can offer any help. I am not that smart, but will give it a shot! Otherwise, pm perseus and he is amazingly helpful

Send an email to info@vapourart.com with your order number and we'll find a solution definitely. I suppose you use AW IMR 14500 batteries and not other brand.

I took a look at mine and cannot figure out for the life of me why you would be having the issue.

lets try it step by step. Do you have photos? What batteries are you using? Unscrew it from the device and then screw it in all the way what happens? If you can give me more details, that would be great.

 

[iamtumus]

after a full day of heavy use, the lock works again. it felt like something was blocking threads.
cleaned them further and it's golden now

 

[perseas]

I am glad mate that your Piccolo fires as it should

Next week we'll have a new batch of GP Spheroid and GP Piccolo. I'll post exact date and time till Friday.

I just received my Spheroid in the mail today from Vapourart and I am deeply disappointed. I was incredibly excited to try this RBA but as soon as I placed it on my Provari mini, there was no air flow. There was such an incredibly tight draw that it would make it impossible to vape. I thought, "Maybe once you put a coil on it and wick some liquid, it might be vapeable", so I did that. I put it on the Provari mini again and got 2.0Ω but there is still zero air flow when I try to draw. I've tried it on my Silver Bullet, Lavatube, various eGo twists and even an old 510 battery, no air flow on any devices. I've even tried to not screw it in all the way to see if the holes in the 510 connection of the Spheroid is what's causing the problem, but as soon as I screw it even one turn... the air flow is almost zero.

I've done various searches on a few different forums and Google and could not find anybody that has this same problem. Am I doing something wrong or is this a defective unit?

 

[the ob]

I am guessing the pin is not coning down far enough.

take the bottom off (turning it clockwise and not the opposite as usual) and push the pin down more. I will sometimes flip it over and put the flat bottom of the pin on a hard surface and push it.

let me know if that helps. It may be sitting below the edge of the 510 connector and needs to protrude down further.

 

[Rick Taps]

Thank you for the advice but I don't think that will fix the problem. If I even just place the Spheroid on the threads and twist it one turn, the air flow decreases to the point where it becomes a severely tight draw. It shouldn't do this seeing that the air holes are completely exposed (although there is no connection because it's not screwed in all the way). It's almost as if the air holes on the 510 connector portion of the Spheroid are not drilled all the way through. It's extremely frustrating.

 

[Rick Taps]

Ok, I have no idea what I did or what it did... but I took a pin and wiggled it around the inside of the air holes in the 510 connector and that did it. There must have been something blocking the inside. Problem solved, sorry for the panic attack.

 

[perseas]

The 510 pin connection obviously doesn't protrude enough or the air holes are blocked. Disassemble the unit, with cir clip pliers turn the bottom cap CLOCKWISE to open it, this RBA is full mechanical. Unscrew then the positive post half or a quarter of a turn, not more and it will be fine. Inform me please of the result.

EDIT
No problem mate, if I was in in your position, possibly I would have reacted the same way
This RBA is full mechanical, you can take it apart, by turning the bottom cap CLOCKWISE with cir clip pliers, in order to to clean it or to find out what was blocking the air holes.

perseas, apologies for the panicked post but here is what I did to fix it.

Thanks for the quick reply, though. It's now vaping like the monster that I expected it would vape like.

We are writing simultaneously, lol
Happy vaping mate

did you just quote yourself? JK.

 

[perseas]

No OB, he quoted my post, which I was editing at the same time, he was posting his answer, which was posted the moment I was writing a response, for his previous post. So, I re-edited my post to keep the logic sequence intact.
We are all very fast here, lol

 

[Rick Taps]

Fast and hot and clouded in vapor.
